Christian Hymns ‎#22

22. O light, O Trinity most blest!

1 O Light, O Trinity most blest!
True God, supreme and ever best:
As now the sun of day departs,
Outpour Thy beams upon our hearts.

2 To Thee at morn our hymns we raise,
At evening offer prayer and praise;
And Thou our glorious theme shalt be,
Now and through all eternity.

3 As darkness deepens, Lord, do Thou
A night of quiet rest bestow;
From all our sins grant us release,
And bless us with Thy perfect peace.
